Hello, I m a new linuxer on samsung, thanks for your forum !I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Samsung NP740 3 days ago...Everything is working except :-Mutlitouch on touchpad (but one finger work)-Multitouch on touchscreen (but one finger work)

I have the same configuration, N740U3E, and I am having the same issue. I am also having problems with the SD Card reader, it worked on Windows 8, but it is not recognized on ubuntu 12.10. Can you confirm that yours is working? Thanks a lot!

I still have the same issue, and even more i ve some probleme with drag'n'drop stuff with touch pad...sometimes in thunar i take a folder and it drag it every where and copy it etc ect...(xubuntu 12.10)

I too spent way to many hours trying to get multitouch to work on my 740. It is really annoying as the clickpad doesn't really allow both mouse buttons to be clicked at the same time for 3rd button mouse emulation. I have to use shift-insert instead for pasting between my browser and xterms.

The bug has been reported many times, I believe the problems are two fold.

1. There was never full support anyways, as you had to patch the kernel in order to get the elan touchpads to use the synaptics X driver.

2. The 740 along with some other newish samsungs have a newer hardware version (v.7?) of the touchpad, so the old patch does not work anymore. It is an odd beast anyways as the touch pad has 2 separate input devices, one like you would normally expect and another that only really outputs data during a multitouch scenario. I don't think the bug is considered high priority and it will really take an upstream fix to resolve this. :/
